He was actually one of the very first pioneer anchors on BBC World when it started out in the early 90's (it was called BBC World Service Television in those days).
Julian Marshall appeared on the channel alongside Riz Khan (now with AJE), Lindsay Brancher (still at "World") and Richard Whitmore (former BBC Network Newscaster and co-presenter of Moira Stuart on BBC national tv in the UK).
Julian has quite a distinguished broadcasting career.

How can any shift on WORLD be a graveyard shift? Or have you not noticed that for much of the world what in Britain is the night between the 24th/25th is neither night nor any special day? Not even Christmas for many Christians!

Despite all this experience, he's still much better on the radio than on TV.

Well, it is the graveyard shift for her because she is living in the UK. She doesn't span every time zone! I'm sure at 3.00am she'd rather be tucked up in bed. It might not be graveyard in terms of viewers but it certainly is for her.

Well yes I know that but people on here speak about shift on World as if they were shifts on News 24, when there is quite an important difference. Somebody reading the news on the World Service overnight on New Year's Eve is probably far more famous than Radio 4's most famous presenter. Just not in the UK.
